**Ahhhh ((Dinah))
I feel you are a part too. A contributing part. A wonderful part.
Makes me sad when I thot of this....
WHY am I working to defend deputies particularly????
Many reasons:
we need them
I value them
but the sad one is.....
Cuz I am one to defend the underdog :-(
and really, sadly
in my mind :-(
which is partly why I would not want to be a deputy,
is that you guys apparently *are* perceived by some others differently....you actually are :-(
Guess I'd not consciously realized that before, not really...
and so,
to me,
it kinda puts you not in a status of power,
but a status of limitation here on babble.
So you pay personally for your volunteer work :-(
Sorta like I do for mine.
And it HURTS doesn't it sometimes?
People not wanting to touch you...
We get hurt for what we do.
But we do it anyways.
And we feel good inside,
THATS the payoff for us.
It feels good to help others.
And so we go on.
THANKS DEPUTIES!
